Product Description
As in previous editions of this textbook, the 5th edition shows biology not as a collection of facts, but as a dynamic discipline. The student's understanding of biological processes is developed through pedagogy, using narrative, experimental contexts and art within the scholarship. This edition contains new artwork incorporating biological "storyboards"; new chapters on molecular evolution, higher brain functions and animal embryology; and genetics coverage expanded by new co-author and genetics specialist, David Sadava. The student CD-ROM - "Life: the science of biology 5.0: Molecules, Cells, and Genes" has more than 1500 topics and has been class-tested. It includes self-quizzes, an audio pronunciation guide for more than 300 terms, and 40 minicourses expanding on the book's coverage of topics from mitosis to genetics information.

Thank you so much for the speedy, high quality transaction! I worked all summer up in the redwoods, and there was no delay in your shipment which made it stress free! The book is in excellent condition, thank you for handling this like a pro! Bow if only it weren't a biology book... =)

Very good book
Well the good things about this textbook have been said, but one of the most useful things i found about this textbook was the website support. There are only 10 questions at the end of the chapters, but there are tons of exercises, which really do help, in the website. The study guide is also helpful and helps you understand the more tricky details that might miss.

Life : The Science of Biology ( ronyleg )
Wonderful text with GREAT additional resources. There is a wonderful website that covers key topics, enables you to quickly print out objectives, vocabulary; and even has web tutorials. This supplemental material is great for people who are visual learners, as they have plenty of animations to help you understand the topics. Would highly recommend any text from this publisher.
